It’s All About the Charcoal

As you may know, all Bourbon is whiskey, but all whiskey is not Bourbon. About 95% of all Bourbon is produced in Kentucky but, to legally be called Bourbon, the whiskey must be:

  • made of a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn;
  • distilled at no more than 80% alcohol (160 proof);
  • aged in new, charred oak barrels (a process that gives the Bourbon its reddish color and distinctive taste) at no more than 62.5% (125 proof);
  • bottled at 80 proof or more;
  • made in the United States.

Jack Daniel’s, on the other hand, is Tennessee Whiskey. Although most Tennessee whiskeys meet the criteria to be classified as Bourbon, they are called Tennessee Whiskey. By law, Tennessee whiskey must be produced within the state, but also must undergo a filtering process with sugar-maple charcoal. Most current producers of Tennessee whiskey do not label their products as “bourbon” on their bottles or advertising materials.

Interesting Facts About Jack Daniel’s

Jack Daniel was a real person, but his real name was Jasper Newton Daniel, and friends and family called him Jack. He was a young man (possibly even a teenager) when he bought and registered the Jack Daniel’s distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

Although the flagship single-filtered Old No. 7 is the most popular and well-known type of Jack Daniel’s, there are other varieties as well. The Gentleman Jack is double filtered and stronger at 94 proof. The honey and cinnamon whiskeys are blended with honey liqueur and cinnamon liqueur, respectively.

The flavored Jacks are at a lower proof, due to blending. There are also many specials and limited-edition bottles, including the Sinatra Special, named for singer Frank Sinatra who loved the Tennessee whiskey so much he was buried with a bottle of it.
